"The early-20s hipsters left in Manhattan are a more dance-club oriented crowd. People who are paying Manhattan rents are interested in glamour, not rock 'n' roll." The knives are out: It's a war between Manhattan and Brooklyn hipsters.

Joey Arak covers the conflict. It seems that Brooklyn's bohemians are a little more grungy and authentic than their counterparts on the island. And the Manhattan hipsters are all about spending cash on looking flash. Says Central Village's Jeff Baum:

"Brooklyn hipsters are about the whole lifestyle. They have their own parties and events. Anyone who can afford to live in Manhattan these days and has the audacity to act poor and troubled is doing it for show.

Still, some said news: Arak reports that "this rivalry is unlikely to erupt in violence." WHY NOT? GO CUT EACH OTHER, BITCHES! NOW! Thank you.
